To determine drug dosages, doctors estimate a person’s body surface area (BSA) (in meters squared) using the formula BSA = √ h m

/ 60 , where h is the height in centimeters and m the mass in kilograms. Calculate the rate of change of BSA with respect to mass for a person of constant height h = 180 . What is this rate at m = 70 and m = 80 ? Express your result in the correct units. Does BSA increase more rapidly with respect to mass at lower or higher body mass?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a person’s body surface area (BSA) (in meters squared) using the formula

BSA =\frac{\sqrt{hm} }{60}

We are to calculate the rate of change of BSA with respect to mass for a person of constant height h = 180 from m =70 to m =80

For this we calculate BSA for 80 kg and BSA for 70 kg first

Rate of change = BSA(80)-BSA(70)

=\frac{\sqrt{180*80} }{60} -\frac{\sqrt{180*70} }{60} \\=2-1.871\\=0.129

i.e. rate of change per 10 kg is 0.129

No BSA does not increase more rapidly

Which are the coordinates of the x-intercept in the equation −4x+5y=20 ?
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer: (-5,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

-4x + 5y = 20   the x intercept is when y is zero so input zero into the equation and solve for x.

-4x + 5(0) = 20

-4x = 20

x = -5

Find the perimeter of the triangle.
Arturiano [62]

The base is from 2 to 7, which is 5 units long.

The height is from 1 to 8, which is 7 units tall.

Using the Pythagorean theorem we can calculate the hypotenuse:

Hypotenuse = √5^2 +7^2=

√25 +49=

√74=

8.6


Perimeter = 5 + 7 + 8.6 = 20.6


The answer is C.
